Abstract :In this research, the use of waste water produced after treatment for irrigation purposes was investigated. Clean water resources in our world are gradually decreasing and water scarcity is experienced in some countries. For this reason, people turned to domestic water obtained after treatment. In order to meet the water needs of plants, clean water resources are needed. The use of potable water instead of drinking water for this purpose provides a large amount of savings. In this sense, the quality of the water used is very important. Treatment waters must have certain criteria for use in agricultural irrigation. Criteria for wastewater from conventional activated sludge; AKM, BOD and total nitrogen value less than 1 mg / L, the COD value should be less than 2. Ammonium value should be maximum 0.1 mg / L, total phosphorus value should be 0.5 mg / L (Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığı). It is desirable to infect plants with any harmful substances from outside. For this reason, continuous analysis of the water used should be controlled.Keywords : Environment, Wastewater, Irrigation.
